Hey Guys! How's it going? ^o^
For those of you who follow my dA, you know I love a bit of cosplay, even if I have only done it for a few days. For those of you who follow my tumblr (hint: sammydeedge), you'll know I'm fanboying over RotG (it finally comes out in about a week). So the next cosplay is an obvious Jack Frost, right?
WRONG.
I wanted to cosplay JF SOO BADLY, however for those of you not living in australia its getting pretty hot. Not only does this suck because the cosplay is pretty warm (it has a hoodie), it also means I can't find a suitable hoodie anywhere (and no I'm not using my own hoodies, one I like having some normal clothes, and two it has a zipper, unlike JF's Hoodie).
The solution? Start working on my own OC.
As such I've decided to make a summer equivalent, firstly since I can easily find a suitable singlet or T-shirt and it won't be too warm to wear. Also the many australian children can feel blessed not only for having bunnymund watch over us come Easter, but Jason ensuring that our summer fun is always kept constant, making some awesome beach days.
Essentially, I'm taking the 'ice' motifs from the JF character design (i.e. Blue hoodie, icy sleeves) and giving them a more summer feel (i.e. Orange singlet, burnt sleeves). A few things like my characters prop (think of going with a pair of burnt gloves like he has fire hands, or perhaps something more 'Roy Mustang', maybe with some 'magic tattoos') are a bit up in the air, and of course the work involved is always going to revolve around the type of clothing I can get my hands on. But seriously I am so (ridiculously over)confident about this I'm doing that weird thing that I do where I already start thinking of things like where to do a photoshoot for it, but at this point I don't feel a need to be nervous about this.
Hopefully, I'll start soon, and you'll see some pics and be able to decide for yourself
